Críticas:

One of The Independent's 50 books every child should read...The Tygrine Cat (and The Tygrine Cat on the Run) by Inbali Iserles... If your parents keep going on at you to read Tarka the Otter, The Sheep-Pig and other animal fantasies, do - they're great books - also try Iserles' stories about a cat seeking his destiny. -- Katy Guest, Literary Editor * The Independent on Sunday * The vivid, vibrant descriptions of the challenges faced by these feline adventurers resonate throughout the book. For a story predominantly aimed at children, it is also incredibly appealing for any adult seeking escapism. The book's atmosphere is tense, the pace is quick, and the storyline, at times, dark. It is a testament to imagination and a call to arms for anyone standing alone. * Cambridge First *

Reseña del editor:

Long before humans walked the earth, there were two tribes of cats: the Sa Mau of the Nile Delta, and the Abyssinia Tygrine from ancient Nubia. Armed with mysterious powers, the ruthless Sa sought to crush the Tygrine and condemn all cats to darkness. Even those who believe the legend claim the tribes became extinct 9,000 years ago with the domestication of cats. They are mistaken... Mati lives among the street cats at Cressida Lock. But Mati is different – he is a Tygrine, the last of his kind. The Suzerain, his implacable foe, has set a murderous creature on his trail. As a shadow falls over Cressida Lock, the young cat must find the strength to lead his friends from danger. In this heart-stopping sequel to The Tygrine Cat, Mati must pass through three gates of the feline spirit realm and confront his enemies. The first gate takes him to a place of chaos and flame; the second to the ancient land of his ancestors; the last to the world of memory, where his fallen friends remain. Can cruelty and despair crush Mati’s will – or is there an even greater power at work?
